keep the mosquitoes away.

It also

could mean your imported living couch made of questionable materials is on fire.

Last night

OM45GE - Posted - 08/30/2022:  07:54:31

I forgot to go to bed and woke up in the laundry room.

Everything was

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/30/2022:  09:13:21

spic and span, to coin a phrase from the ‘50’s.

I garnered two fifty-cent pieces busking

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/30/2022:  10:28:19

behind the church.



Maybe I should

KyBanjo - Posted - 08/30/2022:  13:45:27

go and ask for a grill cheese sandwich.

After all I'm really

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/30/2022:  14:40:07

famished from a hard day’s night.

The church kitchen

KyBanjo - Posted - 08/30/2022:  17:18:28

really treated me to a full meal.

For desert we had

OM45GE - Posted - 08/30/2022:  18:24:58

some delicious chocolate chip cookies and tall glasses of cold milk.

I stopped after

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/30/2022:  19:22:13

the church ladies asked me to repent for my sins.



I lit out of there

OM45GE - Posted - 08/31/2022:  02:40:38

Like a scalded cat because I don’t like people making fun of my hobbies.

What gives them the

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 08/31/2022:  09:46:47

right to talk me into donating my fifty cent pieces to the Laidie’s Aid and the giving me the boot?

Well I oughta

KyBanjo - Posted - 08/31/2022:  10:53:37

just leave anyway as I'm tired of this crap anyway.

Back in my day things were

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/31/2022:  10:56:01

grim , but we soldiered on.

I asked my captain for the time of day

KyBanjo - Posted - 08/31/2022:  15:23:17

and he always ask if I thought he looked like a clock.

Gee, people are so

OM45GE - Posted - 08/31/2022:  17:23:37

touchy these days.

It’s almost as though

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/31/2022:  19:56:30

they’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

My shrink had me put in a strait jacket

OM45GE - Posted - 09/01/2022:  02:59:46

which I found quite amusing.

He didn’t know I

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/01/2022:  07:03:09

have been studying Harry Houdini moves and can easily give him the slip.



In fact

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/01/2022:  07:31:17

I easily got out of his full nelson hold last week.

He thought I was stealing the sugar packets

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/01/2022:  08:10:04

from the restaurant known as Slim Jim's.



These sugar packets actually contained

Edited by - KyBanjo on 09/01/2022 08:10:34

OM45GE - Posted - 09/01/2022:  17:25:30

salt, which cost a lot less than the sugar.

It was a lot of work to

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/01/2022:  17:51:32

wade through the mud at the gluebrass festival.

My banjo needed mudflaps

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/01/2022:  21:34:28

and running lights to be completely legal.

Also they sometimes want

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/02/2022:  04:45:02

proof of banjo ownership, a valid passport, and three forms of identification to be admitted to the festival.

Sometimes

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/02/2022:  08:53:41

I find this a bit overwhelming most of the time.

However I usually

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/02/2022:  08:57:08

sneak in through the back forty.

You’ll know if the festival stage is level

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/02/2022:  14:12:06

if you see the band not leaning to the left or right.

Most of the time it seems

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/02/2022:  21:40:17

the banjo player drools out of both sides of his mouth.

The fiddle player

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/03/2022:  06:12:36

wishes he would have taken up classical music or the accordion.



There is usually

GoSlow - Posted - 09/03/2022:  06:41:10

someone in the crowd that yells for "Rawhide!".



What they usually get instead

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/03/2022:  07:22:35

is an autographed pic of Clint in his younger days.

Lately they have

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/03/2022:  08:59:49

played all requests using the same 11 notes.

Festival people usually

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/03/2022:  11:30:11

enjoy visiting the vendor booths, especially the lunch wagon.

There’s nothing better

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/03/2022:  14:19:45

cold cut sandwiches and a fresh beer to wash it all down.

BHO members usually

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/03/2022:  21:20:06

pass out from lack of BHO-game-playing-syndrome.

Hyperventilation occurs

OM45GE - Posted - 09/04/2022:  03:26:54

followed by a collapse into a stuporous state.

The only

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/04/2022:  16:42:25

cure known is purchasing old Gibson parts and pieces.

Just last week on eBay

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/04/2022:  16:49:21

I saw a 1943 G string for sale at $305.87.

It was reputed to be

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/04/2022:  17:28:18

one wore by Lucille Ball.

Desi later said

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2022:  03:04:34

he would have posted videos on the internet, but that didn’t exist in 1943.

He did have several

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/05/2022:  07:37:03

copies of National Geographic Magazine that Lucy posed in through he years.

She really enjoyed

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/05/2022:  08:30:12

Chesterfield cigarettes.

Her entire

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/05/2022:  09:06:09

career was based on her gravel voice.

Ethel Mertz, meanwhile,

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 09/05/2022:  10:21:57

had Fred in a headlock.

She made him promise

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/05/2022:  11:18:13

to be nice, a trait that he knew noting about.

It was once said that Fred

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2022:  12:00:16

was so grumpy because his underwear was two sizes to small.

That pinched his

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/05/2022:  12:12:43

family jewels, and is why Ethel and Fred were without child.

They doted over Ricky Jr.

KyBanjo - Posted - 09/05/2022:  13:07:08

for a few years until they finally moved to the country.

They often
